I’m listening to the flowers - for a change of heart.

Creating a sense of history and charm.

Change of heart, oil on board, Sonya Hotko

Such a treat in the dark of winter

a greeting of flowing flowers

an elegant courtyard filled

the softness of blooms

movement of sheer drapes

Flowers in Rome | Chiostro Del Bramante

2026 has brought a change of heart the freedom in letting some dreams go and realising the existence of others. This exhibition at Chiostro Del Bramante in Rome has a transforming effect on the soul, where the freshness of a new dream begins.

If you are in Rome or visiting soon this exhibition is one not to miss.

It’s January and the beginning of new work in my studio. Small gold edge paintings on board, large paintings on stretched linen, flowing wall hangings all painted in oil.

My interest for almost wild gardens and places is about embracing the perfectly imperfect, nature inspired elements, ancient traditions, craftsmanship. With warm earthy tones like terra cotta, ochre, and muted greens reminiscent of italian countryside - my paintings celebrate a touch of luxury and artistry, creating a sense of history and charm. Most importantly my paintings reveal the beauty of stories, to hold your memories and elevate the everyday.
